Would anyone care if my art was made faster but sloppily?
4 years ago
Hey, been a while since drawing. It's been quite the year. Most been dealing with my mental state. It might be getting better. Talked to a doctor. Maybe I'll go on meds.
But yeah, drawing. I feel one of the biggest hold backs is a sense of perfectionism. I don't know if that makes sense with my art but it's something I struggle with. Also I feel I need to be fast at art. (but currently I'm not that fast.) I have slightly different tools for doing art so don't have the options other artists have by default.
I've tried drawing quicker and as to be expected, results aren't as nice as the way I'm used to. Just that my normal way is rather slow, doing the lining and getting it just right. Pen strokes don't do pressure ether, I have to do that all manually.
I donno. Maybe I should do an example of fast vs normal drawing speeds? Am I thinking too hard? I'm just... tired of the thought that art takes so long to do.

But in the end you should do whatever feels best for you not us, make art to entertain yourself first and us second.
Perfectionism might lead to great things, but it can also be a barrier to your well-being. Nothing wrong with something sketchy from time to time. It might even be freeing.
in the end, though, you should do what feels better to you! I'm happy seeing any art you post, whether it's sketchy or cleaned up~
